TORTURE IN WAR: CONSEQUENCES AND REHABILITATION OF VICTIMS
Yugoslav experience

"The idea to put together this book came after two years of work in the Centre for

scientific public...

Our clients are individuals who lost their physical and psychic health, their loved ones, relatives, friends, their home, place of origin, neighbours, their safety, ability to work, as well as ability to provide for themselves. However, the most difficult losses to bear are those invisible and immeasurable ones, from the intimate psychic sphere of victims, linked mainly with the loss of capacity for emotional exchange, inability to experience personal and family happiness, loss of confidence in institutions, other people and themselves, as well as the loss of dignity and hope..."
